Matthew 10:34
Jesus said, "Do not suppose that I came to bring peace to the earth, I did not come to bring peace,
but a sword."
Something about that name, something that brings delight, fear,anger and many other emotions to so many people. Why ? Let's look at it simply for now. His name is Jesus, most don't have a problem with that, Christ is who He is, you lose some here and Lord is His title, here we lose a bunch. Many try to separate the name from the title, you cannot, not in this case. Not that people don't do it all the time, saying I like this about Jesus or that about Him, but Lord? The above scripture refers to a sword of division as to who He is, not a sword of war.You can be lord of the manner or lord of your house but to be Lord of all,that's a lofty claim. That is what Jesus is, Lord of all creation. Me believing that doesn't make it true but nor does your unbelief make it untrue. So we must all make that decision for ourselves. In order to do that we must have relevant information to help us find out if there is one we call Lord or if there is a "Lord" at all we can no longer pretend both are legitimate options. My hope is that here in this forum we can explore truth, whatever you believe that to be, and come to an eternal decision. Who is Jesus ?
